The big and small Sarufar who was summoned was quite surprised by Varian's announcement.

"What the hell is going on?Why is everything ready, but not attacking!?Didn't you hear the cannon on the other side of the mountain?" Little Sarufar pointed to the far west, the sound of cannon coming from the direction of the Shadow Vault to the west of the Barren Gate.

Varian has never liked to deceive people, and others can say that he is irascible and even murderous, but no one will say that he is a liar. He shook his head: "I have received a direct order from the Supreme Commander of the Alliance, Lord Duke Marcus, to suspend the offensive of the Alliance's Northeast Front in this battle. Ulduar's steel troops ascended first. ”

"Is there any new information that our tribe needs to know?" Varok was much older, sensitively aware that Varian knew something, but refused to say it.

Varian shook his head, "No comment. Whether or not the attack will continue as planned is left to the discretion of Lord Sarufar. You can also consult with the Grand Chief of Saar before making a decision. Anyway, Ulduar's troops will attack on time. ”

On the surface, it seems that this is the alliance doing something and reversing the offensive sequence without authorization. The problem is that the Quadripartite Coalition is not under its command, and it is all negotiated to march.

At this moment, the alliance has launched an offensive in at least three directions, and it cannot be said that the alliance is snubbing military aircraft. Varok's face was very bad.

"I want to ask the Great Chief. Varok didn't say much, turned around and left.

After he returns to the Horde's station, connect to the magical teleportation to Orgrimmar.

Thrall was also worried: "What is Duke doing? This is not the Duke Marcus I know. ”

Woking reminded, "Is the Alliance preserving its strength? Over the past few years, the Alliance's armies have become more and more dislike melee combat. ”

Thrall shook his head, then said firmly, "No! Duke is a wise and decisive man. When it's time to fight hard, he never hesitates to sacrifice. He cared more about the covenant between the Horde and the Alliance than I did. He never betrayed the Alliance. The only explanation for what he is doing now is that he knows something, but he can't tell me because of something. ”

"Why don't you just ask him?" Woking suggested.

Sal seemed to say to himself, "No, it's useless to ask, the reason he informed us through Varian was that he didn't want to talk to me directly." By inference, it must be the problem of our tribe......"

Woking reminded: "What was the first phase of the original plan?"

Varok: "Attack from multiple directions together. However, the terrain is unfavorable to the west, and long-range attacks are dominant. The southeast and northeast directions are the main attacks. The Forsaken forces to the southeast broke through the Iron Wall Dam and turned to attack Scourge City on the eastern heights of Icecrown. In the northeast, the Iron Troops of Ulduar block forces that may come from the Gates of Desolation and Death. My troops marched from north to south, and King Wrynn's coalition forces attacked Scourge City from east to west through the Lodashir Trail. ”

Sal was a little upset: "It was originally a three-way attack. The Coalition suddenly stopped its army, wouldn't this allow the Forsaken troops to deliver food?"

"What if it ......" Woking suddenly thought of something, but he saw Sal's face, and then thought of Thrall's efforts to unify the various races of the tribe, and suddenly discouraged: "Forget it, it's nothing. ”

Thrall was confused, but he didn't have much to think about when he was thinking about the big picture.

"I'm going to Duke for me. Varok, your men continue to attack Scourge from the north. The Horde will not abandon its allies, and the Anastrians must not be left alone to face the elite of the Scourge Legion. ”

"Understood!" Varok punched his chest.

The horde army of the Northeast Road set out, and in order to catch up with the progress, Varok even let his son Dranosh lead the elite of the Blackstone Clan to set off first.

Although the Orcs of the Blackstone Clan do not like this extremely cold climate, as a clan that once commanded in the mountains, their ability to climb mountains and mountains is quite strong.

Here, Thrall found Duke.

"Tell me, why did the Varian forces stop advancing in the northeast?"

"We found a batch of shells with errors. The shells, which were not suitable for use in the freezing climate, were mistakenly transported to the front. Coalition forces attacking without heavy artillery cover would have increased unnecessary casualties in vain. I strongly recommend that your troops cease as well. "Duke was originally an Azeroth actor, and he didn't need to make a draft at all to lie.

"Is it true?" Sal asked.

Duke shrugged, 'guess it'.

Sal's inner uneasiness intensified. But no matter what he says, Duke just can't get in the oil and salt. At most, he promised to press Dalaran forward and send as many air fleets as possible. Unfortunately, due to the problem of troop allocation, it was not possible to send more battleships during the siege of Scourge City.

A dark cloud of unease hung over the entire coalition force.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of March 15, the army of the Forsaken and the orc forces of Dranosh, who had broken through the defense line of the Iron Wall Dam, were sandwiched between the majestic Scourge City to the south and the north, facing each other across the city.

Scourge City, located in the eastern part of the Icecrown Glacier, is an important fulcrum for Alsace domination of the entire region. It has a magical vein that is second only to the Icecrown Fortress.

Unlike Duke's previous life, perhaps because the coalition forces put too much pressure on the Lich King, Arthas has created an extremely sharp giant magic array through this magical leyline. Since last winter, there have been terrible force 10 winds blowing here every day.

A tornado ice storm that never moves, always surrounding Scourge City.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Anastrian glanced at the city of Dalaran, which had followed the army of the Forsaken to this open space. The Sun King contacted Kael'thas directly.

"Your Excellency Speaker Kenrito, please order the bombardment of Scourge City with Dalaran's magic cannons and weaken its shields. "Anastrian's title is quite businesslike, so that Kaizi can't find fault with it.

Facing her dead ghost father, Kaizi's feelings are extremely complicated. But after so many years of training, sinking, and being redeemed by Duke, Kael'thas has already seen it: "Your Excellency Anastrian* Sunstrider, don't you have to wait for the main force of the tribe?"

"No, I don't. I am a powerful undead. I can clearly sense that Arthas has abandoned this place, and the undead inside are not the main force of the Scourge Legion. With the strength we have now, it is enough. ”

"Since you say so, I have no objection as an ally. After 15 minutes, Dalaran will attack. Please use your own judgment on the timing of your attack. ”

With a father-to-business, the two fathers and sons, who had the same blood flowing in the same vein, ended this exchange in a way of getting along with passers-by.
